The Carter Family - Sunny Side Of Life (1985 Documentary)

I have met the Cash family, Johnny and Roseanne Cash and Carleen Carter as I was working on the live music scene in London, the nicest, most down to earth artists I have ever met, an absolute pleasure to deal with..

AP Carter is one of the best songwriters to ever hold a pen....Period!.

There's no doubt about it, the Carter family music, along with their siblings, cousins, offspring etc, is a lasting legacy which will go on forever as long as we keep playing it. An honest family of mountain folk, and music was their life.

Oh lord how i wish you would show me the days of old. The times when happiness was above all.

The group of men at the start are some of the finest musicians you'll ever see folks. The Carter Family came from folks like this, and preserved the music forever.

Wishing I had been there!! I would have a had so much FUN..no one's fighting or acting up...it's as if the music put everyone in a trance ....I can see they really loved it!! I do to!

My dad taught himself to play guitar as a boy in the 1930s. He could sing and yodel, too, and I grew up listening to most of the songs in this video. I've always loved the original Carter family. Thanks for making this available to all of us. I never even knew it existed.

It is clear AP and Sara didn’t exactly pass down a fortune to their kids. They probably didn’t even make much to begin with after the publishers took most of it.

Wonderful documentary, I really enjoyed it, every time I hear that fiddle I wanna jump up and dance. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

How can you not smile and watch this. AMERICA at her BEST 🇺🇸♥️

It is amazing and brings me back to my younger days .everyone should listen to after the flowers are gone.

Thank you for posting this and others. I used to listen to this fami Y in early 1950s. I am 84 years old this yr and a fan still.

Delightful! Thanks so much for posting this video! I hope to visit the Carter Fold in 2022.

Thanks for posting this. I teared up a couple of times (loved the homage to Brother Beecher) but smiled thru most of it .

❤042024 The Carter Family is the best ever. I listen to them just about every day .

I’ve always loved watching this documentary about the Carter Family. It would always come on PBS, around the first week of August, every year, remembering the Carter Family. Because that first week of August is when the original Carter Family first made their famous recordings in 1927.

What a treasure! So glad this has been preserved.

beautiful and wholesome, a light in this wicked world
